Newbie - What can be done?

Hey guys new to the forum - i've had a HD for about 3 months now and done nothing with it just used it as i would a nokia 402! lol I chose this over the iphone simply because of the keybad option when typing texts etc.
What cool things can be done to make my HD better?
My HD runs slow all the time -it's not loaded up with junk or any files at all really and yet it runs slow when the hardware specs suggest it shouldnt. I'm on orange (so prolly got a bs orange rom, right?)
Can you get cool games for the HD for when im at work like you can the iphone?
Many Thanks.

I recomend having a look in the ROM dev forum and wait until dutty releases his 3.9xt ROM.
If you flash this rom you will think you have a new phone!
Read up on crackwhores guide to flashing as i'm guessing you will have the stock spl.
So you have to flash an official HTC 1.54 ROM first. Then flash duttys.
I may sound complicated but it really isn't.
Also, if i were you i'd use USPL as appose to HSPL as the latter voids your phone warranty!
Jake

so you think i should wait for a new release from Dutty?

Well he's got 3.8 out atm but said he'll upload 3.9 tonight so ye, i'd wait a day tbh.
Also, there have been some problems with people using backup&restore programs for sms, contacts and things so if you can sync your calendar and contacts using outlook that would be even better.
His new ROM will also be UC compatible which is going to make installing all your main cabs the easiest thing in the world
Jake

Flash some different chef roms and add a little spice to your device!

are there any decent games and things like there are for iphones?

Are you using search because your questions have been answered many times all over this site look above and type what you want in search you will be surprised by what you can learn or you can check the wiki as well they even list what works and what doesnt including games

Read all you can about flashing and then, try new ROM's.
My ROM if Laurentius L26, and I'm really satisfied with it...
Also take a look on apps to install...

Im dim.... what's flashing and how would I load duttys new rom version, can I break my phone in doing so??....sorry

Yeah sorry i made this thread because it's quick and easy to keep an eye on - i'm at work you see and they wouldnt appreciate it if i was on one site for 50-60mins searching around, i perhaps should have stated that in my first thread. Sorry.

Mate, the best thing to do is search and learn...
Flashing is changing the ROM (software) of your mobile. You can change the stock ROM by a lot of cooked ROMs that are posted here at the site.
But until you decide on what to do, read carefully all threads to understand how it works...

i've flashed it to Dutty's XT Turbo 3.9... it's pretty nice. I was just asking about the gsensor games lol

there are plently.. at least for starters u are in the right forum !!!!
search around look around.. ask questions at QnA
you can take a look at my humble blog too... there are some useful freewares made by folks here mentioned there too

I want that Dusk Manila theme, not entirely sure how to do it though and cant find any info on it Any shed any light on it for me?

Try a search in the Themes, Applications and Software forum

First X2 rom released, we need experts to decrypt it and dump it !!

Ok, from the thread below you can download the official x2 rom, since lots of x2 goodies work on other devices it'd be nice to dum it, yet it seems it is encrypted differently than normal htc nbh files.....
So if anyone skilled and talented is interested go ahead and download it....and ofcourse keep us updated !!
Cheers !!

The X2 bits released were from a dump from someones phone, not from the actual rom. This will be better as we might be able to get cabs/ oems from this.

Exactly as buchman said.....what we have now is missing lots of files which make stuff unstable....things would work much better out of a dump....you could have at least clicked the link before flaming....bffff

now now peeps, its CHristmas so no flaming please
Greetz.
Happy Xmas.

merry christmas to you too..and i wasnt flaming at all...please forgive me if it came off that way. i havent had any issue with anything i have taken from previous X2 dumps so i figured all was well. neway my sincerest apologies go out to you, i will tone down my language as to keep these misunderstandings from happening again. oh and i did click on the link btw...i dont typically read whole threads when im using my mobile to view xda. i will be more careful.

looool, I was just downloading the Pancake rom because it seemed stripped down. I am going to wait for you to finish uploading...lol
A completely stripped UI is exactly what I want.

download link is up.

blankd3ckskat3r said:
ok, first off, id like to thank damageless, gbhil, bikcmp, darchstar, flipzmode. JsChiSurf, and the rest of the xda & android community.
This rom is based off of Pancake, which is also based off of damagecontrol. I dont have a name for it, so if youd like, send me some suggestions.
i made this rom to suite my own needs. i stripped all of the useless apps (useless to me)
removed:
All htc widgets except Clock and Weather.
All Sprint apps including VVM
GSD.apk
Fieldtest.apk
Flickr
HtcFacebook
Facebook
Learnmore
Device Self Service
Ringtones
amd some others i cant think of right now
the purpose of this is to basicly have a clean setup for anyone to mess with, to add their own apks and such.
I have added the white taskbar theme by JsChiSurf. Overall its a nice clean fast rom.
I dont know if ill be frequently updating this rom. if i get enough people that like it, sure why not.
Well with all that said and done, here goes:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1q2wdjumzy2
Let me know of any bugs you find and ill try to update, as i use this on my own phone.
i take no credit for anything. i didnt create the rom i just deleted and added things.
if you like the rom and want to add suggestions go ahead i also wouldnt mind donations, although i know the work isnt mine, i still took the time out to post this and make it how i want it. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...=PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHosted

Nice, can't wait to see it. By the way, a good name for it would be Waffle, ice-cream, popsicle (I like that one), anything that is bad for your health really .
Best of luck with your ROM .

Maybe a bad download. Try redownloading. And you gotta wipe before flashing. If you still have a problem let me know.

does this look familiar?

I guess its a different rom tho. I don't have the white taskbar.

lol, maybe you shoulda done some md5checksums before accusing people of stealing work. I'm not ripping on you, it was an honest mistake, but it really hurts when you tell someone else they stole your work without doing any self checks.

keep it open..more variety doesn't hurt. not sure why everyone gets so worked about who did what, etc., esp when you gave credit where it was due. xda is a developer community i thought building off other peoples work and sharing your own is a part of being in a developer community.

i keep seeing all these requests for apps like swype and what not...

everyone whos asking for these .cabs for swype, facebook tabs for sense and so on should take a trip over to the ROM Development forum. most of the things people are asking for in these posts are already cooked into the roms. they tend to run a lot better than the stock roms and have updates coming out on a weekly basis. my personal favorite is the Energy series hence my signature but i suggest that you guys check all of them out you never know what youll like.

Not everyone likes to flash roms , and not all roms have every little cab you require in them, hence asking for them and theres no central place for them all either
And unless im mistaken, i also use an energy rom, but swype is not built into that!

Yes, but all people would have to do is search. I have also seen a lot of posts requesting it.. and if people would take a look at the stickied thread they'll find it in the second post.

That's funny. Swype is built into my Energy ROM. Don't know which one you're using... It also has a nice HTC skin on it.

im sure not all of the links dont work, there has to be .cabs themselves posted somewhere out there. i dont usually respond to repeats of requests because theres tons of those threads out there but i guess i will for now on because a number of apps that are or were on this site are saved to either my sd card or computer

Asking for, or posting links or files for Swype is now considered warez on XDA. Do a search elsewhere as it now earns you vacation time from the mods.

Yeah, its may taste of humor

Personally I tried a lot of options, and my leo is quite angry of me because I did every possible thing with her D).
I suggest reading this thread, it gives you a good start...
My choice if I where you:
1. HardSPL your device (Instructions available in the thread mentioned above).
2. Install some good cooked ROM (Hacked windows mobile version) on your phone. My own choice: Artemis.
3. Download and install some good android build. My own choice: mattc.
P.S: BTW, do gals give guys gifts as expensive as Leo in your place? I wish I lived in your country!
